What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure designed to save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. When the pulp (the soft tissue inside your tooth containing nerves and blood vessels) becomes inflamed or infected, it can cause severe pain and lead to an abscess.
During a root canal, the inflamed or infected pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned, disinfected, and shaped. The space is then filled and sealed. This procedure eliminates pain and saves the natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction and preserving your smile.
